Letter: Public Should Know About Lies

Many years ago, I asked the old time Army sergeant why we needed to put our name and serial number in each of our boots and on our belt, since we had ID tags around our necks and our names on our uniform shirts and coats. His answer? “In case you get blown up, we’ll be able to put the parts back together.”

That happened too many times with our troops in Iraq, where more than 4,500 were killed and about 30,000 wounded, some grievously. George Bush and the war criminals who deliberately lied the U.S. into the attack against Iraq are still walking free and his library just opened in Texas. It will be very difficult or impossible to find any of the books and other information that reveals all of the Iraq lies in that library. The U.S. public should be aware that an Israeli propaganda agency, the American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC), has spent millions of dollars to convince the U.S. that Iran is building nuclear weapons. All of the sanctions that Congress has passed against Iran have been written at AIPAC and handed off to members of Congress who get them passed. The most recent Senate Resolution 65 states that the U.S. will assist Israel if they decide to attack Iran. The U.S. just agreed to send Israel refueling planes that would help them attack Iran.

The political side of Israel has been accusing Iran of building nuclear weapons for more than 25 years. Here are two options: A.) Iran is either very bad at building nukes, or B.) they have made a conscious decision not to build nukes. Here’s a hint: B is the answer.
